Hi I have a question about Windows 10. My phone wan not appearing in Computer so I went to restart but the Restarting screen was just spinning for several minutes so I restarted manually using the case restart button. Can that cause bad stuff to system files?

Not the recommended method of shutting down, but we have all been there and done the same thing. Can it mess with things, possibly, but in all the times I have done it, Windows was fine after.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Lol...

I wouldnt make a habit out of it... but as was said surely weve all done it before. Maybe try to run a repair on the windows install if that keeps happening. Otherwise, don't worry about it.
